Yeah but it was still like super ultra cool. I remember it was called SSRPG, and it was a lot of fun.

I miss the army system, i even forgot what it was called it's been too long... Is that it? I want it back though. Alot.

I just won't bother flagging - unless i can defend.

How is that going abused? It'd be a good idea to know what you're getting into. Would you buy property without checking on the details of it? I just told you how it's going to be abused. Sure, it would be a good idea - But that isn't the reason why the arena is implemented, and that's what it would be used for. It would be for giving insight on a new concept - not solely to prevent you from losing money in the current setup.

If you break even, what's the point in playing? Why play without progress.. forget that. I lose money. Rushing without the use of specials? GL doing anything or getting kills.

That's what happens. 10 levis pile up on that one BLine in i forgot which base, and it ends up being a stalemate - moving back and forth in base for an hour, while i'm losing money. I only begin to gain again when we take base and i start defending with bty. And that's what's wrong with the current bases - But let's stay on topic...? I guess it is the current settings that favor defenders in that a rich defending ship (terr,lev) can easily dominate the weak rushing ship ( rich or not) with one or two bombs.

Dude wtf. You don't hold a base by scattering. All players fight eachother in one spot, not scattered throughout the base... There's normally one point that needs to be broken through, until the next spot where everyone bunches up to hold off the enemy. I sit in my terr moving back and forth in my lanc, gunning with about 6 other btying buddies because that is the place to hold off the enemy. Sure, stand next to the wall when you're in the middle of a base holding off the enemy and the thorers are outside... its gonna do a lot against them =/ Same for 3 ^ Rushing thorers... the whole goal is to clear the enemy, unless they're ez - then you can just milk. Of course try and just kill everybody and kill the lanc? thorers dont care though. They die, respawn, and thor again. That's what they're born to do.

tiss61 is right about the basing. Every time i see a flag game going on, i work to be on the defending team if i feel like getting 50k, because i KNOW that i will get 50k+ by my bountying. Rushing is harder now, and less rewarding. Who uses the most money? Rushers. I lose 1-2k per game rushing. Sure that's not much... But i used to gain 30k? And compared to my defending? I gained 100k defending the other day. !@#$%^&* no i don't want to rush now. The only reason i rushed was to test out my new items. James i noticed that your only reason behind not supporting dropping the money was the lack of the main goal. We can brainstorm for that main goal. Maybe money which buys addon types that only slightly modify ships power.. and somehow are really awesome =o Try brainstorming for that main goal, james, and you might find it worth considering. Syrith, a second arena would be abused by people who want to try out shipsets before they buy them. A second arena would also require a Lot more items to give the full effect of the possibilities this idea proposes.

^ But for the lack of... potence... It will be the last ship i buy.

THOR AMMO PURCHASED IN SECTOR 8 ONLY! Problems solved, thor storm only occurs when organized.

That's the current settings in use. A first day player (noob) doesn't stand a chance against a player who's played for a month (vet) simply because the month player has more money on his ship. The first day player could have played SS for 5 years, and the month player, well, a month! With this new system, the first day player (true vet) is evenly matched, at least in ship. Time doesn't determine who wins or loses, it's all in your brain to make the best setup, and in your skill. The true noob should always be crushed by the true vet! There won't be those newb's in disguise as vets, hiding behind items.

There is no denying that it's harder to make money. Bounty rises by 5 instead of 10 = 1/2 as much money gain right there. JP, because of that, rises 2x as slow. Things cost more, + constant ammo and consumable cost. It's obvious that money comes slower, but that's not the point. Imagine HS with hundreds of different items to choose and hundreds of different setups for your ships, to create any duty, with no cost - All based on skill. And fun with money gain is still there with something to work towards buying.

I've talked with aquarius for a while about this and agree with everything, and i want to add this to readers minds: We realize that without money and exp there's no common goal to continue working towards - there needs to be a new common goal. Currently, players continue working towards exp to make signatures available - That's the kind of goal we need. Money and exp can be implemented but the main idea is to not make it crucial to success (as is current, more money/exp = win.) So feel free to contribute with common goal ideas.

the one in gap

Just go along and install the newest pacman and asteroids too, they're old...

What's the use of 2nd or 3rd place? In my opinion there shouldn't be that possibility of the maximum, like bankers deal. I don't see the problem with moon lander though - nothing's wrong with a base point number of 10000 - whoever goes farthest still gets the most points.

That's basically what was said... Except this is ASSS and there's no need for bots. This would become a module and be done with ? commands.

*coughs and gestures towards SSRPG*

Yeah - I can tell you're already biased. Anybody who's actually paying attention to my argument wouldn't have told me that.

slip n' slide

Dav have you ever played VRPG? I have never seen you on the statistics page - and viewing it now, still do not see you on it. You're voting for a game that you won't be playing At All because of the time you need to devote in order to be successful - much more than SS RPG.
